NOTE1: For a real treat, go to The Hotel and Tea Room in Davenport, FL
on a Friday evening. It is run by a true Little Old Lady (Miss Mae), and she refuses to
charge big bucks! They have a steak dinner that tops Ruth's Chris' or Shulas. It is an
OLD hotel with a small dining room. Chef is an award winning Chef with Best-In-Show
awards for pies, pastries, and cakes !!! Our bill for two (salad, 1½"-thick-after-cooking
rib eye, dessert, and taxes) was only $66.00. They have a nice Afternoon Tea. Breakfast
is literally all you can eat for $6.00, tax included. Yep, six bucks! The place is about
40-min from WDW, but really worth the wait. (Check them out on Facebook or Internet.)
Ressies required for Friday night steak fry and most Afternoon Teas.
.
NOTE2: The only time we visit other TS eateries is to renew our ratings for the eatery(ies).
And, when we do these, we have "sampler" dishes (whether free or paid) so we can try
several appys/entrées without pigging-out.
